I love when she explains the good!

Some of these celebrities are jumping up for joy to find out they are related to this royalty and that royalty and it's great, but it's stories like these that truly touch us. Thank you Christina Applegate and Dad Applegate for sharing and thanks TLC for such a great show!

All stories are important, and the connection to your ancestors for many is strong, that is why they jump for joy or cry whether they be related to royalty or a basket weaver.

The best. A good daughter and a compassionate woman.

This is by far the best & emotional episode & I did watch the whole thing. I hate to be a spoiler alert but I gotta tell ya. When they went to the funeral home, they surprisingly found another spot for Christina's father that was already paid by Lavinia(Christina's grandmother), another way of her saying she still loved him & she was sorry. That was awesome & very forgiving. There was no headstone but the father bought her one & it said, "Mom, I finally found you" and it has a beautiful picture of her as when she was child. Beautiful & sad story. Christina Applegate is a wonderful & loving woman for helping her father to forgive & know what had happened to his mom. She is his miracle.❤❤❤

breaking the pattern is the best gift anyone can give their children and grandchildren.

Mr. Applegate has a wonderful daughter.

Awww! Christina Applegate is so amazing. The love and gratitude she showed for her father. Wow. He raised a wonderful daughter!

His daughter is testimony to how good a father he is!

Wow! What she told him that was the good in this. What a beautiful daughter.

This one made me cry. Very moving. She is such a great daughter to give this kind of closure for her father.

What a beautiful gift to her father.

Gosh Christina's grandma died young. Poor thing. 33 in 1955. Wow. I hope she is looking down on Christina now during her own health struggles.

I feel so bad for the grandfather Paul. He tried so hard to tell the court she was an alcoholic and they didn't believe him. Part of me wonders if the reason her father doesn't remember his mother is because she was abusive and he blocked it out.

It’s sad also because it shows how the courts often show biases. We know she was a alcoholic because she died of cirrhosis. But the judge probably didn’t know better and chose to side with the mother. Men are more often assumed to be alcoholics in comparison to women

OMG do tell!

This episode is an emotional roller coaster. Poor dad! But at the end of this episode, it was just intense & peaceful. I couldn't stop crying. This episode was about forgiveness & moving forward peacefully. It was just simply beautiful.

What a terrific daughter she is, that Christina Applegate.

Wow, less than 6 minutes and I'm crying. Christina Applegate is a rock star, imho...

Being adopted and not meeting my birth mother until she found me, when I was 30 years old, with my biological father still denying he’s my father, but information proves otherwise, THIS episode shook me to the core!!!!! Not knowing ANYTHING about my biological family until the age of thirty and still not knowing too much about the paternal side, I have felt this EXACT same way. It’s indescribable and NO ONE can relate unless it’s been part of their story. This was by far the most emotional episode that I’ve talked about for years. Thank you to Christina and her father for being so open and candid about such a painful journey. ☮️💟

Her father is so handsome and a beautiful spirit,his life was hard like so many at that time...and we all love Christina...God bless them both...

I hope her Father made peace with this. What a tough way to hear the info? My Mothers family is much like his was so many unanswered questins that still haunt her to this day.

This is an amazing and beautiful story, doughter helping her father in an emotional quest to find the truth. Well done ... you guys should be proud of one another, I sure you are, god bless. Christina made a big influence in my teen years, we have the same age, the show that made her a star was awsome, very funny, loved it always made my day better, since then I've followed her acting work enjoying all her movies and TV shows, really a great actres and a wonderful person.

Watching this with tears down my face. Christina, telling your father the good news was him breaking the cycle and raising his children with love and compassion. My family had so much dysfunction and there are still so many things I don’t understand because I was so young! After having the burden of burying my only sibling this last month after not seeing or even knowing where he was for 45 years or even knowing his wishes was excruciating.

She is an amazing women with SOOOOOOooooo much strength and intelligence. Her ability to have the foresight and courage to take control of her own serious health concerns is breath taking. I just can't say enough about her, wow what a women and above all that what a good person.

Glad her father could find find some solace.

i think her WDYTYA was the best one because it was such a close relative. Sometimes these shows go way way back to great great great great-aunt and it doesn't feel very special this one felt different. more emotion more connection.

This really made me cry, I feel for her dad so much! He's amazing and raised her wonderfully!

Thank you Christina. I know why I love my mother and father.

It’s so sad he can’t remember his mother even though he was 13 when she passed away 💔

This is so touching. That positive affirmation Christina made to her father is priceless to any parent who has done their best to raise good children in this difficult world. Very, very sweet of her. Here's sending warm greetings their way.

Very touching !

She's such a sweet person. I love how much she loves her Dad. This is a really great episode. I love this show. So moving....

Drank herself to death at 33? Yeah I’d say the husband was being honest to the judge about her drinking.

Sometimes it's hard to get over what you know nothing of.. That's deep...

Christina Applegate is so beautiful

You are a loving daughter! Breaking the past chain to show kids a new future is so healthy.

To me, this is the real American story, no matter what kind of family or social class you came from, we don’t judge you by that but what you do yourself. It’s hard to feel that these days..

Christine seems like a real compassionate person with a lot of heart you just hold on to the good let the bad go put it where it needs to go amen hallelujah

My heart brakes and grieves with you both Christina. We are all Gods children and He doesn't want us hurt. There is still more good, that came out of your family's history. God permitted this investigation to prove the judges hasty and incorrect judgment in your grandmothers case. I'm so sorry for all the pain your father has had to suffer in his life. Your father is a real fortified Soldier. His ability to turn things around for Gods Glory! and raise his own family is truly amazing and Wonderful! He has been blessed with a well structured family, a healthy life and a loving and caring daughter (you). It's obvious, he is a very good parent. I don't know any of you but, I'm sure glad you, were able to help him find, healing, answers and long overdue closure to a very hurtful past. Thanks, for being a good daughter, when your father needed you most. To watch his face light up with hope again, with the comfort of your words was so inspiring! By Gods own design, you've enabled your dad the stamina to endure his life with the peace and dignity that he so richly deserves. God bless you. You have a very good head on your shoulders, Christina. Your comfort meant everything to him. God bless you and your family Christina and continue to guide you with the Strength of Eagles wings. Much love to your entire family Christina. ___I am a child of God.

Wrong "breaks".

Would love to have been able to watch the whole programme (?) I thought was the best. For reasons of 'close' immediate family, true life happenings. Life is a reality, and Christina in this small portion shared this with the world, along with her dad. Very Real, and this is what connects with people. Respect, and many thanks for keeping it real and sharing Christina and Mr Applegate. Thank you.

Made me cry.....:'(

This is unreal to see Trenton, NJ, I know of those streets. Seeing the city as she travels is fun.

Christina is an intelligent person, as well as an talented actress. I’m glad that she did what she needed to do for closure though. My father died from COVID-19 last year, and I had to do the same thing that she did for closure.

That was beautiful and touching.

Love this show♥ sweet man!!

Great story and lessons.

😢so moving.

It was all about economics with our grandparents...the depression...the war...it affected many many families...

Not only did Christina's father break the alcoholism pattern and raise his daughter right, but I think even his mother and father would have been as proud of him for his efforts as Christina is.

The human side of Christina, not just the Hollywood version. Thanks! 🕊

Great job Christina

She said the perfect things to her father he needed rhat pick me up! ♡

Glad for his closure.

Christina in her best role! What a daughter!

Awh, Mr. Applegate and Christina.

In the end just being good humans is sometimes all we can pass on to our children, and if that is all we can do, we have done everything.

So touching

Christina. My pink sister survivor. YOU ARE AMAZING.

Detective Kelly Bundy, you7re the best!

Its so bad that he doesn't remember. Some things are better not known. That you broke the cycle is the best thing. Hope you go in peace.

I think the saddest and hardest part of this all is that it seems as though his grandmother told him that his mom died by being beaten at a bar when she remarried Walton. His paternal grandparents thought it would be better if he didn't even know about her. Families make decisions that they think are good at the time but can be incredibly painful. I have generational abuse and this makes me want to find out more because what people tell each other isn't always fact

I love you christina

Your an amazing woman 🥰

It's hard to interpret life circumstances thru the lens of time. Lots of love ...room for forgiveness in this story. Even for the Grandma who told a horrible lie to a child ...probably to protect him. I would like to say that the cirrhosis of the liver could have been from hepatitis ...which was not discovered until decades later. The mom seems to have had a rough life. An allegedly abusive deadbeat husband, a family that suffered financial loss in the depression, the stigma of a divorce in that time period, the death of her mother and poor health paint the portrait of a strong woman who was forced to give up her child for his own good. Christina, your family has lots of strength and resilience.

thats one strong lady

heartache.
